So, I have an animal-related task that my friend and I need to complete! Can I get an animal mage to step up? Raise your hands? Or paws? I've got some gold to pay with, if you need compensation.

((OOC note: This isn't related to the Animal Mage Hunt quest, but feel free to assume it is, if you like. The timing is hilariously bad but purely coincidental.))

[...Quest? She hasn't checked the quest board lately, not after that one humiliation quest was posted and she closed the app in disgust. She'll tentatively open that again... and skim the available quests really quick...]

Oh, absolutely not. No. Three million times no!!! 🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️🙅‍♀️ I am definitely not trying to murder anyone right now. If some creep wants to murder mages because they've got personal problems, that's on them. They can stop being a coward and do their own dirty work. *I'm* just trying to talk to frogs. 🐸🐸🐸

Here. Educate yourself.

dont really give a shit why they wanna murder people either i just think the whole things sloppy start to finish so i aint getting involved.

but what is the big fuckin deal with frogs anyway

[ he just happens to know someone else who is very into frogs and way more frustrating. ]

Right? I mean, what kind of request is this? There's not even a target. It's just "Kill everyone until you find the person I'm talking about". No location or physical features or anything. The incompetence is astounding.

The big deal about frogs is that they're very secretive. Don't you ever wonder what they're croaking about when they're all chattering together in their frogsong? They have frog secrets, and we want them.

[hitokiri]

who knows. really tried not to think too hard about that whole post tbh

[ the bit about the cow person is regrettably living in his mind rent-free now and he does not love it. ]

"frog secrets"
they probably talk about eating bugs and shit i dunno. whatever the fuck frogs think about. they dont do much

how much are these "frog secrets" worth to u anyway? hypothetical like.

*Or* they could be talking about the secret of immortality or something! Just as an example~ They are definitely not talking about immortality and do not know how to achieve immortality. 🤭

...What about 1000G?

[At some point, offering ten bucks for someone to do something silly isn't going to work... But she's going to keep that standard until then.]

[hitokiri]

huh really?

[ but then he remembers how much things cost here instead of just looking at the number. 1000g is like a fortune by his understanding, in his own currency. avalon's though? little different. ]

gold aint worth much here tho right? those secrets must not be all that valuable then

[sulit]

...Okay, okay. Clearly you are a person who understands the local economy. Or maybe you're just a person with options! I get it. I will make you a better offer.

...How about 2000G?
